    I've got a RoadRunner, but have not installed. Do I need a software upgrade if I use it?

    If I install the RR and install my current tune, should I expect the car to run and operate exactly as it did before installation?

    I have held back on installation because I haven't investigated possible problems with it yet. Words of advice about install welcome...

    BTW writing on it, J1BLUE M1190 CYDU This look correct for my car?

    I recommend running at least EFILive version V7.5.3

    Yes, 100% exactly the same. Except for the relearning (fuel and idle airflow) that will be needed the same as it would after a normal reflash.

    You should be able to hook it up to your PC via the USB and full-reflash it via the RoadRunner control panel with your current PCM's tune. Then just swap it out with your existing PCM and you're good to go.

    Keep your existing PCM in the car with a wrench so that you can swap it back in in case there is a problem with the RR. There shouldn't be any problems, I drove around for 6 months with the RR PCM in my car. But better to be safe than sorry.

    Not sure, but if you can program your *.tun file into it then it is correct.

    "No RoadRunner USB Device can be found" When I plug it in to the USB, it creates a com port.
    getting closer, got it to communicate w/rr. When I try and program the device it says its not licensed, yet I have entered the serial #. ????????????

    Does it say
    1. RR is not licensed
    or does it say
    2. PCM is not licensed?


    If 1, then you need an RR license. Let me know.

    If 2, then you should not be using the normal reflash toolbar icon. Instead use the reflash toolbar icon in the RR control panel in EFILive.

    I was using the Road Runner dialog box. Also, when I put this serial in and start the program, it says the program is in demo mode too.
    Ok, I guess I need a RR license.

    Send me your RR purchase details and FlashScan serial number and I'll try and locate your RR license. Send to paul@efilive.com
